They were but humble, God-fearing, earnest men. They came here to conquer this wilderness, to plant here the cóm- mon school, and the church, and the state, with no under- standing or idea beyond the one or two generations that were to come. They builded better than they knew.
The great Architect had a work for them in foundation- laying, and they laid their foundations in eternal verities. They laid those foundations broad and deep, building into them principles of right which should last throughout the ages. And now we, their children of the seventh generation, have builded upon those foundations. They were unconscious heroes, martyrs, saints. God has a work for each one of us to do, and we too may be heroes, martyrs, saints, just as we do in earnest purpose, with a God-fearing intent, whatever God places in our hands to do. And future generations may arise and call us blessed if we, with the same faithfulness, and earnestness, and devotion, and self-denial, do the duties that come to our hand.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT GATES
These flowers may fade ; the echoes of the eloquence and of the music of to-day and to-night will finally die away. The Church of the living God, planted by the forefathers, will then remain. Are you to be heroes, martyrs, saints ? You can be as they were. Generations yet unborn may rise up and call you blessed.
The following letter was read from the president of Amherst College, who had been invited to speak in behalf of education.
BETHLEHEM, N. H., Aug. 22, 1894. REV. G. W. STEARNS,
My Dear Sir, - It would give me great pleasure to be with you on the 27th were it possible, and to add to the many words of congratula- tion which the' Middleboro Church will hear on that day, a word from Amherst College. But I am established with my family here in the mountains, and our plans for the next two weeks are such as to put it out of my power to be present on your two hundredth anniversary.
Who knows the Christians who have been the true "pillars of the church " during these two hundred years? The historian of the occasion will mention or refer to certain families and a few prominent men whom the world has looked upon as sustaining the church. But is it not alto- gether probable that, seen as God sees the record of our church history, it has been some silent, deep-souled, praying woman, poor perhaps as she who threw her all into the treasury while the Lord "sat over against " it, and told his people how great a gift were the two mites,- some one of God's own children who serve him and pray to him "in secret " even more than in public, who has been the real power prevail- ing with God and bringing blessings upon the church, in the years when the statistician and the historian have found the wealth and the influ- ence of the church in far different personalities among its membership?
That your church may abound in those who have power in prayer with God, and in these coming years may, by its living works, reflect the glory of our Father in heaven more and more clearly, is my wish for you.
Yours very truly, MERRILL E. GATES.

FIRST CHURCH, MIDDLEBORO
In the absence of the pastor of the Central Baptist Church of Middleboro, who was to speak in behalf of our sister de- nominations, the following telegram from him was read :
WOODS HOLE, Aug. 27.
REV. G. W. STEARNS :
Accept my sincerest congratulations. Read Psalm one hundred and twenty-six.
M. F. JOHNSON.
The congregation listened to a part of the Psalm referred to : " The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad," etc.
The exercises were then enlivened by some original and amusing stanzas which were read by Mr. William Pratt.

MR. BOOMER'S ADDRESS
THE PRESIDENT OF THE DAY. - All blessings this side of Heaven must end. While our hearts are still stirred by the inspiring words that have been spoken to-day and yesterday, we are loth to give up our attempt, vain though we know it is-
" To chase the glowing hours with flying feet."
Ere we close these commemorative exercises, and go forth with our high hopes for coming days and years, let us enjoy one more address. The First Church of Middleboro, like Virginia, mother of presidents, forgets not her children even after they have left her side. I am glad to be able to call now upon one of our loyal sons, the last speaker of the evening, Mr. B. L. Boomer, of Brockton.
ADDRESS OF MR. B. L. BOOMER
MR. PRESIDENT AND FRIENDS : The burden of my thought at this time is good Father Putnam -and what an overwhelm- ing burden it is ! Such a multitude of precious and delightful recollections of one we all loved so much, that I scarcely know where to begin : but justly taking precedence of all subsequent things, - he gave me my wife, and I may date the beginning of my acquaintance with him and his family from this event. "Come at two o'clock this afternoon, and I will be happy to serve you " went his neat little note in answer to my inquiry.
How well we remember all his quiet ways ; never loud, never bustling, never in a hurry, yet never staying too long ; never forgetting aught of spiritual or worldly matters pertain- ing to those he visited, - the crops, the weather, the horse, the boy, all had a place, - and after he had asked God's blessing upon the household and so spryly regained his chaise, we looked after him with a feeling that he had left a blessing and a benediction in the house.
Passing some quiet but fruitful years, we come to an impor- tant event, not only in his life, but in that of all who for so many long years had known Dr. Putnam only as minister, and as the occupant of the parsonage, where his stamp and

device and most gentle individuality gave to the place such an odor of quiet and welcome that we thought it never could be otherwise. But the change came, and with it commenced a much more intimate acquaintance between us. Some of you remember what a time, reaching over weeks, it consumed to tear up, pull out, make let go, and carry away so many things that for more than thirty years had been rooting themselves to the dear old place. I often have wondered how he so bravely endured the making of a new home; how interested he was in the arrangements and repairs, and the brightening up of the quite famous old house which seemed saved providentially for him. How carefully every old familiar book took its proper place in the stately parlor which was thenceforth to be his library and study, and in how surprisingly short time he adapted himself to the new surroundings.
During this settling in the new home I was, as a friend and neighbor, often with the family. I shall never forget how the heartiness of his blessing at the table affected me. With his face toward Heaven, his voice strong and clear, his simple grace seemed like a grand burst of praise and thanksgiving to God his Father.
Presently age and its infirmities laid a heavy hand upon him we loved so well, and in that quiet upper chamber the good man waited the summons of his Friend.
Among the most precious experiences of my life, I chiefly prize my many opportunities to be with him in the capacity of watcher, for there was much pleasantness between us. He had varying moods - sometimes quiet, silent, unnoticing, again smiling, happy, and jubilant : then, perhaps, waking from a restless sleep, he would be in great distress of mind. Once, in this condition at midnight, a great grief came upon him, resulting, as I supposed, from some unhappy train of thought he could not control. His agitation I quieted as I could ; and holding fast my hands he told me that for hours he had been thinking over his past life, and had found himself overwhelmed with a feeling of his unworthiness, considering his long life
:

MR. BOOMER'S ADDRESS
and abundant opportunities. I told him that One would be his judge who was full of mercy and compassion; who knew all the thoughts and intents of his heart, and that He would be much more merciful to him than he was to himself. Growing more calm, and taking some refreshment, he commenced the story of his college life, particularly the incident when, con- vinced of a privilege he believed was his right and that of his fellow-students at Cambridge, he with the rest had been sus- pended and the ease referred to higher authorities : how he passed sleepless nights and days ; with what anxiety he waited 1 the coming of the stage from Boston which was to bring either his vindication or his disgrace, and his thankfulness when acquitted by the Faculty and his action approved, which was to be in the nature of a precedent, contributing to the liberty of those coming after. In the depth of his trouble and anxiety, he said he read and read again the thirty-fourth Psalm, and it had become to him a great consolation ; and many times during these still hours, with many others, I read it to him. A very notable bit of his early history he related. While in the office of his uncle, Judge Putnam, of Salem, there came into the har- bor the ship having on board the first missionaries sent out by the American Board to any foreign land, in 1812. To meet these devoted people, and to bid them God-speed, many of the prominent people of all that region went on board the evening preceding the day of their sailing. A most powerful assur- ance of the presence and blessing of God was felt by all on board, and that evening was spent in fervent prayers, songs, and encouraging words, succeeded by tears and solemn fare- wells. The absolute self-sacrifice of that historic company, going they knew not where, but trusting to God alone to direct the way, so impressed the would-be "lawyer Putnam " that within twenty-four hours he decided to give up his studies with his uncle and prepare himself to be a minister of Christ - with what success let us fall back to his devoted and exem-

plary life, and to a myriad of tender and precious memories for answer. The good man, the kind friend, the wise coun- selor, the genial companion, was carried by loving hands to a place appointed for all the living, and, as again and again we visit it, we feel that the remembrance of the good can never die.
In behalf of the church, at the close of Mr. Boomer's address, the pastor added a few words of appreciation of the large share of pleasure contributed by the many guests to the occasion, and was about to announce the closing hymn, when Rev. R. G. Woodbridge and Rev. N. T. Dyer proposed a resolution of thanks to the church for its hospitality. The andience kindly passed such a vote of thanks to their enter- tainers, after which all joined in the hynm,
" Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love,"
to the tune " Dennis," and the bicentennial commemorative ex- ercises were closed with the benediction by the pastor, and the "Festival March" (G. Blessner) rendered on the organ.
